Installing minimal client libraries on Windows

Apologies for this old chestnut, but I think it's a question more often

If I want to install a minimal binary libpq.dll on a non-developer
machine to support Lazarus/FPC programs, where do I get it?

I definitely don't want to tell the users to install a full server, or
to build from source. I'd rather not give them pgadmin or psql. I'd
prefer not to install ODBC since I need to get at listen/notify that it
doesn't support.

You can extract it from the precompiled ZIP archive that
EnterpriseDB provides.

Thanks, but in the end I installed ODBC as the path of least resistance
and relied on the OS knowing where the DLLs were.
